Culture often depicts dinosaurs as living up to their name: "terrible lizards". Which ones were probably terrible, and which ones weren't? Discuss.

I voted for the first two as those were the dinosaurs known at the time the name was given. Sir Richard Owen didn't actually name them "terrible lizards" the name was meant to mean "fearfully great lizards" more in reference to their size than temperament.
